Re: rat dog |
I think it is slang for Rat Terrier
From:
http://www.i-love-dogs.com/dog-breeds/Rat-Terrier.htmlName: Named because of the way they went after rats and kept down their numbers in the White House
The Rat Terrier dog breed has been described as the opposite of the breed it closely resembles, the Jack Terrier breed. Rat Terriers are less agressive and are relatively calm, for a terrier breed. Normally they are cheerful dogs but there are cases where an occasional dog is sensitive to new environments, unexpected noises, people, or sudden activity.
Remember that breed only provides a general clue as to any individual dog's actual behavior. Make sure to get to know dogs well before bringing them into your home.
The Rat Terrier's Physical Characteristics
Here are some of the characteristics of the Rat Terrier breed as determined by the Rat Terrier Club of America's published breed standard.
* Size: small to medium terrier size

Re: rat dog |
GS--love your word choice (seriously) in this little post...
Well, as ducats, I have not had a good experience with RD. It was a few yrs back, but as I mumbled about here a time or two in past threads, it was the ONLY concert I ever walked out on after the first set. Really was bad IMHO.

Re: rat dog |
I didn't see them for almost 10 years and hated them the first time.
Saw them with Phil & F with Keller Williams at the Rocks and Bobby played DS with Keller between ratdog and P&F, was GREAT.
They opened for the Allman's last year at the Rocks and it was a fun party.
So this year their playin a nice lil venue in Boulder two weeks from tonite.
I got a gifted tix so here I go again, my love hate relation with Bobby goes on!
